Title: LPG Installation
Post by: johnnycboy on 08 July 2011, 21:04:58
I take my hat off to all the individuals that have attempted and managed to fit an LPG system to their Omega ::). 
I Have so far ground the hell out of my rear panel, busted and burnt my hands to peices installing the toroidal tank >:( and near on snapped my back in half :'( just putting the tank in and out to get a snug fit.  I know it will be worth it in the end :) but bloody hell what a job and I'm not even started with it yet.

Anyway thats enough of the moaning I am just looking forward to some cheaper motoring in the future ;)

You could have saved yourself all the effort and bought mine from me. :y :D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Im going to be at work until about this time next week, but if you need a hand with anything (which doesnt involve electrickery) after that, just give me a shout John. :y

Albs it approx 700cc short of a real car ;D ;D - seriously though that is a decent car youve got their and all the upgrades will make it look even better.

On that note I wiill continue to destroy mine and get the the LPG fitted if its the last thing i do. :y.

Much appreciated for the offer of help - if you are around next weekend perhaps you would like to get a bit dirty with me ;) (under the car that is) :y

Under or on top of it - I dont mind dear. :-* :D ;D ;D
Upgrades still ongoing, as and when I get time John. Very chuffed with the interior now. Going to change the drivers door next, then headlight washers for the HID,s, then a few more bits and pieces over the summer - including fitting the exhaust Ive had for it for the last 6 months. ::)
